Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

This weekend was so full it was bursting at the seams! Friday evening Rob and I headed over to my BFF's house for dinner and to see her new baby. Wow, what a special moment. Her little one is almost 2 months old now and around 6.5 pounds. It was surreal to see a baby that size because it reminded me just how tiny our boys were (2lbs 14oz & 2lbs 12oz) when they were born. How quickly we forget! Daniel & Joshua were giants next to this baby! On a knitting note, BFF loved her birthday moebius that I made. It looked super cute on her and now I want to make one for myself!On Saturday, mom and I had lunch with my good friend Candace at yummy Julienne's in San Marino. I was so full afterwards, I hardly wanted dinner that evening. From lunch, mom and I headed over to Old Town Pasadena to Gold Class Cinemas (which I absolutely LOVE and now cannot watch a movie any other way) to take in an afternoon showing of 'Remember Me'. Wow, what a stellar performance by Pattinson and De Ravin. The twist at the end was unexpected and surprising. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and would highly recommend it! We also stopped in at The Container Store. My knitting guru, Regina, bought a soft sided market tote from there to house her current WIP's. I loved it so much that I had to get my own for my WIP's! They only had two fabric options so I chose the more muted of the two. It definitely could serve many different purposes. I can see using it for the farmers market or going to the beach. I love it and plan on getting a couple more!
Next up was Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Rob, myself and the boys went to the Peach Cafe for a little bit of breakfast. We love all of their breakfast dishes and they have the best Vanilla Lattes I have ever had! After we ate, we dropped the boys off at home with Grammie and TT Lisa and went to Home Depot for some plants and accessories for our patio. They were having a "Spring Black" sale and we sure did some shopping damage! We picked some beautiful flowers including pink jasmine, hydrangea, azalea, and lavender. I have been wanting a fountain since we moved in so I picked one up. The Depot also had these really cute lime green Adirondack chairs that go perfectly with my other furniture. All in all it was a very productive shopping trip! We headed back to our place and within 2 hours got everything planted with every one's help. It is now my little oasis and I love it!I need a weekend from my weekend but I am sure happy with the results!
